All indications point to brisk season
in all departments of labor and business
Everything is favorable to the boom, and
1t looks very much as if the boom is here
Bradstreet'S, of Saturday last, contains some
very gratifying statistics on this point. 1t
has collated the figures of three thousand
reports from all sections of the country,
and, as a result, it finds that at this time
there are at least 400,O 900 more industrial
employees at work than in 1885. What is
be ter ill., the wages show large increase
equalling the remarkably prosperous sea
son of 1881 50, and, in some instances. ex-
ceeding it. The quarterly report of the
Manufacturers Record OF the new enterprise
in the South, makes a remarkable showing.
1t gives, as the total amount Of capital and
capital represented in the new enterprises
and improveme is for the first 3 months
of 1897, The sum of $S9,95O,0OO against
S36 5o7 200, for the same period of 1885,
an increase of nearly $50 per cent Later
reports to the same journal are of he same
tenor. Advices to other trade publications
and the general news dispatches all bring
intelligence of general revival in trade
and business, and this fact is further as
sured by the decrease in the number of
failures.

The report of the Department of Agri-
culture for April relates to the condition
OF winter grain and comparative health
fulness of farm animals. The returns show
that the condition of the soil at the time
of seeding wheat was somewhat unfavor-
able in the States of the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, owing to drouth duri. g the late
summer and autumn, most severe in por-
tions of Pennsylvania and Maryland The
continued dry weather made blowing
difficult, seeding late, and in localities
where it was unbroken when winter set in
termination was slow and the fall growth
slow. The general average of condition
is So, the same as in 1881, and higher than
at the same date in 1882 and 1885 when it
was so and 76 respectively. The April
condition of last year was 92.5 which was
still further improved by favorable wca-
ther during the month. The average for
the principle Stat s are: New York 81,
Pennsylvania 20, Maryland 80, Virginia
70, Texas 70, Tennessee "a, Kentucky 81,
Ohio, 10, Michigan 90, Indiana 90, Illinois

dor, has presented to Secretary Bayard, in

by arbitration. If the Secretary approves
OF arbitration the matter will then be
taken before the Senate and its approval
also Obtained if possible. Mr.. Santos has
been in Ecuador during the past year col

The indications of the better feeling OF
the colored population toward the white
people of the South and the consequent
loss of grin af uH the heeth II hitth H. asf have ended

towards their white neighbors, is every
day more and more apparent During
Senator Sherman's recent tour in the South
he was surprised when he cal ed to paw
his respects to Gov. Gordon, of Georgia,
to find large de legation of representative
colored men OF the State also paying their
respects to the Governor. and the utmost
confidence and good feeling seeming to
prevail. Ex-Governor Francis 7. Mich

which be was given assurance OF the es-
TEEN in which he is held by both races in
East Feliciana. Gov. Nichols, who was
a distinguished officer in the Confederate

responded, giving them much wholesome
advice, assurance of his kind feeling to-
ward their race, and expressing his conf

President Cleveland on Saturd

President Cleveland on Saturday ap-
pointed Alexander r. Lawton, of Georgia,
to be envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to Austria Hungary. Gen
Lawton was a prominent officer in the
Confederate service, reaching the rank Of
quartermaster general of the..army in 1863
He is a South Caro- inian by birth, and a
graduate of West PoiEt, but became a
lawyer, and practiced in Savannah before
and after the war. He was appoin'ed as
minister to Russia by President early in
his admins ration, but his political dis
abilities not having been remove !, and a
doubt arising as to eligibility, he resigned
in order that no embarrassment might be
caused to the administration. Since then
he has been relieved of his disabilities

His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, who
has been in Rome for a month or more
past attending the papal consistory. left
that city on Monday last, en- route for his
home in Baltimore. Previous to his de
parture there was scene of great anma-
tion at the American College, where the
Cardinal said farewell to the students in
one of the parIors. He made few touch
ing remarks, and the students bade him
God-speed and cheered him enthusiastic
cally. He was accompanied to the rail
way station by many distinguished pre-
Iates and residents and visitors at Rome.
The Cardinal expressed much qualification
at the kind attentions he had received,
and said he would always retain dele ht-
full memories of his visit The Cardinal
is quite well, but is thin and is somewhat
fatigued with his duties while in Rome.
He goes first to Florence, and will spend
some time in France before sailing from
Havre for New York.

Mr.. Randaii'S Probable Defeat.

Although his republican friends and
allies in the Pennsylvania Legislature have
given Mr.. Randall all the help they could
to secure his continued Misrepresentation
of a Democratic constituency, it looks very
much as if they must take him up as one
of their own regular candidates it they are
to have his assistance after the expiration
of the Fitieth Congress. The Democrats
in the new congressional district recently
carved out for Mr.. Randall in Philadei-
phia intend, according to all accounts, t.
consider the propriety of being represent
ed hereafter by Democrat instead OF al
assistan Republican. Certain movements
which have taken place in the last te"
days among The Philadelphia Democrac.
indicate that he 10000 or more voters OF
that faith arc coming to the conclusion
that they have too long permitted the Re
publicans to select their representative
and it Is time for them to exercise some
choice in the matter themselves. This
feeling is so unmistakable and so plainly
developed that the Randall clique has
become very much alarmed. and a meet
ing has been called in Washington 10 see
what can he done about it. Some OF the
prominent Philadelphia Democrats lately
said there was no doubt that if Mr.. Ran
dali runs at the next oongre ssional elec,
ton there will be an opposition Democra
tic candidate.
They say that Mr.. Randall and bis lie
publican associates have so long had the
absolute control of the party machine that
it may not be possible to prevent his nom
ination, but if he is nominated an inde
pendent Democrat will be put up, and
the Republicans will be forced to turn IL
openly and elect Mr.. Randall, or else suffer
/ him to be defeated These gentlemen also
assert most positively that Mr.. Randai
will have no sympathy from the admins
tration. They say the President has &c
cause to feel kindly toward Mr.. Randall
! as every prominent act ol his III 'uc las
Congress was in opposition to the admin
istration, notwithstanding the many favor
which be had received in the way OF in
ffuenfial patronage in Pennsylvania. :
the strong probability is that Mr.. Randall
is getting very close to the end of hi
rope. In the Fittieth Congress be will no
be chairman of TIE committee on appro
priatIons, and neither he nor Mr. Holman
wi be mem bers Of it. Mr.. Carlisle is to,
fair and just to follow Mr., Randall's Owl
example when be was Speaker, and vii
not seek to degrade him 10y putting hin
in insignificant committee positions, a
Mr. Randall did with Mr.. Morrison. bu
he will take care to put him where lie vii
no longer have the power 10 betray tn
party Which he processes to support. And
as shown above, if Mr.. Randall shoul'
come to the next Congress, be will com
elected by Republicans and not by Demo
cras 5. and Will then have no shadow c
claim for recognition by the latter.-Co'

GRAFTON o. the General Ascend an! Of tae peo-
pie OF the Stiie, whether experience has not
demanstr4tpi, that these exemptions should be
explicitly and strictly defin in the organic
Jaw, in such plain lansutgr that there could be
no difference of opinion in the legislature or
the courts, as to te meaning Of the exemption
and that neither the one or he other should
have the power 10 en- arge or gbriige it.
II is also 10 be hoped. that in the event of the
ling OF a constitutional Convention bv the
people, that such Convention will determine
and esgra't on the organic law, the scope and

ton, in the matter Of the exemption of railroad
property and other property from taxation.

he expected, very largely increased and such
increase will continue so long AS that exem1-

PerceptibIy the ratio Of property exempt from
taxation, as compared with that which still
continues liable thereto. OF course every IN
genious method will be resorted to as hereto
fore, to bring capital within the exemption
from taxation, and consequently thousands of
dollars are put into mortgages, not really in
many instances for the purpose of increasing
the security for payment, bat merely for the
purpose OF making the nvcstnen free from

to do this retrenchment of expenditures
had to be made. The constabulary of the

Several OF the inmates were found TO be

object of the delegation was to inquire

books showing the effect of alcohol and
narcotics on the human system, thus con.
forming to d law passed by the last Leg

opening prayer by the superintendent,
Mr.. Stewart Ward, the minister, Rev
John Nj. Smith, being absent In agreea-
BILE succession came readings, recitations,
and carols, all of which were well render

sented with bag of candy and toy
1t was not difficult to read in their bright,
happy faces how enjoyable the occasion
was TO them. The last on the program
was a ''Sleighing Song which quite

who deserve particular mention for the
manner in which they rccited are Misses

The ice on South river is thick enough
to allow those who ale fond of the de-
lightful sport Of skating to indulge their
taste. Books are quickly thrown aside
as soon as they may be and skates are
eagerly put on, and from to 8 o'clock,
indeed even later on these beautiful moon
light nights, may be heard the laughter
and shouts of the youth of the village as
they skim merrily over the ice. But the
recent fall of snow will put an end to
this sport for time, at least, unless those
who participated have industry enough
to form broom brigade and sweep away
some of the snow. OCCASIONAL.
